Posted by zzotte @zzotte, 4 days ago

Hello everyone, I’m currently going through the diagnostics process and today I was told by my Doctor that my Pet Scan shows that my prostate cancer has spread to the bone and two lymph nodes, now I’m waiting for Oncologist appointment, without getting ahead of my self what procedure it’s the norm for cases like this PSA 7.5 and Gleason 9

Thanks

I forgot to welcome you to the club within a club (metastatic prostate cancer). 😕

As @jeffmarc mentioned, going to a decent multidisciplinary cancer research centre is critical at this point, because treatments for stage 4 PCa have changed enormously over the past few years, and the word hasn't gotten out to all the smaller practitioners yet.

If treated quickly with the latest best practices, it might become more like a chronic disease than a terminal one, at least for many years, and maybe indefinitely.

There are no guarantees, but we have genuine hope now.
